| The 94th Tactical Airlift
Wing was the Wing over command of the 908th Tactical Airlift Group which
had the 357th and 700th Tactical Airlift Sqs. The 357th TAS and 700th TAS were sister Sq's,
each unit had 16 Bou's. The
Role of the units was Tactical Airlift. They were the only two AFRES Units with C-7's.
The 357th TAS was stationed at Maxwell AFB - Montgomery, AL and was later moved to a Tactical Airlift Wing. The 357th was the last Reserve unit to fly the C-7's from 1972 to 1983. The 700th TAS was stationed at Dobbins AFB - Marietta, GA and flew C-7's from 1972 to 1982. Some of the 94th Caribou Aircraft were sold to the Spanish Government after the C-7's left the 94th at Dobbins. Thanks to Kenneth Perry of Air Force Aviation Heritage Foundation |

The attached photos are of my father, Aubrey Emmett, who was, I believe what you'd call, a Flight Mechanic, on the USAF Reserve C-7 Caribou for the 700 TAS, Dobbins AFB (Reserves), Marietta, GA. Prior to his unit getting the C-7, he was a flight engineer on the C-124 Globemasters, so..., quite a mission change for both him and his unit. I feel proud of his and his associates' service with this aircraft and the sight of it reminds me of the times that I'd visit the base and hear the distinctive noise of those engines. I was able to fly in the back of one, with my Dad on board, as part of our high school's ROTC orientation flight. (Stephen Emmett, Cumming, Georgia) |
